No. That’s what people like us and all the main stream media hope for.

But: most people I know don’t have the slightest clue that Insta and WhatsApp belong to the FB group.

And even worse: most of them don’t give a shit about the reputation of FB. They just want to send messages and share pictures through those apps.

That's probably the street date of the physical issue of the magazine that will contain this article.

This.

73 yo dad is not quitting Facebook anytime soon. He genuinely uses it to find old friends and coworkers and goof around in the comments.

I mean it gets a lot of bad press and people love talking shit about them. Yet their user base is still huge and their revenues. How much is all this talk relevant to them?
